… “Starewitch
is a big influence on the Brothers Quay. When I mentioned him to Švankmajer, he immediately corrected my translator who was fumbling with the name a
bit. Terry Gilliam
also owes him a real debt and considers The Mascot as one of the ten greatest animated films made. Tim
Burton’s
animated work screams Starewitch. And Fetiche Mascotte seems like a direct ancestor of Toy Story. And if Wes
Anderson
did not make a careful study of Starewitch before making the Fantastic Mr. Fox.
I’d be really surprised. Starewitch, like George Méliès, is one of those seminal figures, an original, an inventor, whose work is
still literally marvelous !” Byrne Power.
